Does having a fancy smart phone with a 3-5" screen make you feel important?

Otherwise why do you pay for data to look at a screen that small?

And I can pay $200 for my iPhone that will give me GPS from Google Maps, live traffic, and do a fark ton of other things your GPS can't. Well worth the extra money to not need a bunch of other devices.

Oh and don't forget that Apple's nazi-like app review process pretty much takes care of any security concerns I have with 3rd party apps.

Dude, one of my favorite apps is my calorie/fitness tracker.

I can take my phone, scan the barcode of the wrapper of the energy bar (or whatever it was) I just ate, and it inputs all the nutrition info for me and keeps a running count of everything.

Where exactly can I get a device that will do that?
Ooooh. Now that is pretty nifty...

I will say, some of the apps are very appealing. If this guy doesn't watch his trolling, this thread of his may end up convincing me to upgrade to a smart phone! laugh out loud

If Apple is killing a Jew for every app that is released then we are on the verge of another holocaust for Iran to deny.

I want to "laugh out loud", but the Holocaust wasn't funny and Iran is retarded. Decisions.. decisions..

You could also scan any product and see if it is cheaper anywhere else locally. Slickdealers dream nod

And by doing so save enough money to justify the money you spend on the phone/plan.

I'd suggest that to OP/Troll, but logic just passes over his head.

No it wasn't which is why i bring it up at any chance I get. People tend to forget the holocaust and that the Jewish people as a whole have no right to live or exist according to Iran, The Muslim Brotherhood, or the Palestinian Authority. Don't forget it.


Back to the thread.....


You're comments are intelligent and enlightening OP. Did you attend an ivy college? Dontknow How can I be as wise as you?

I cannot believe that you are still feeding the troll. This thread was obviously started just for trolling purposes. Very sad, if you ask me.


One thing that he did accomplish is that he unified Driod and iPhone users Roll

Wow that is the way you see the world.... everything in your smart phone. You settle for mediocrity

My GPS kicks butt over any smart phone. LOL it's got a bigger screen for one!
Huh? My smartphone's GPS blows away any stand alone GPS I've tried. The screen is no smaller than most of them, I'm not carrying an extra device, it weighs less than a standalone GPS, I can google the name of a place and get directions there (without having to type in an address, though with no data plan clearly you can only ever go to places you know how to get to or have the address to handy). I can navigate to any contact in my address book, rather than needing to carry a separate address book and typing in the address.
